Graf #7 "person"

Here we are a little more than two years from the time I met him. He showed up at an inconvenient time in my life. I had repeatedly told myself I wasn't going to focus on a man. It was going to be about me nobody else. I know that seems selfish to many people but you don't know what I have gone through in the last decade with men. Mostly destroyed my life, so I wanted to start to repair the damage that I have caused for myself. I met him when I was begining my journey into a life of recovery. At an alcoholics anonomyous valentines day dance I laid eyes on him for the first time. He stood out of the crowd to me, mostly because he was very handsome and tall and muscular. We ended up dancing together and from that moment on it has been history. Aproximately two years of great history, and a little less than great on a few occasions. He has brought meaning to my life and has taught me the essential building blocks of maintaining a healthy relationship. It has taken a lot of work on my part I can admit. I still have work to do in the changing department. I sometimes look innocent but believe me Im not. I have anger issues and I like to assume things on a regular basis. That causes problems for our relationship, but he is so patient with me. Over and over I make mistakes, but he has always been there for me and worked through our problems. He has also brought working out in the gym into my life too. He is a nutricianist and kind of a personal trainer. He has taught me about eating right and the right combinations ofexcerise and diet to try and get healthy. Over all I have lost thirty pounds since we met and I am so thankful to him for that. Not only that but I am so in love with him. He literally makes me "weak in the knees." The spark has gotten brighter with us which is a first for me. I look forward to seeing him when he comes home from work and I can't wait for the weekends so we can spend time together. I'm so glad that our life is going in the direction that we both want it to go in. We dream of a house with land, we dream of further education for both of us, and we dream of traveling all over the world.
